Time yet again for another installment of " Amusing Names"

In the Navy, I was stationed with one guy named Anchor and another named Saylor. There was also someone on the sub base in San Diego named Seaman. I envisioned her enlisting with “Major Major” syndrome and never getting promoted because the Navy only had one Seaman Seaman, and they weren’t about to let her go.

I also had a CPO named Peter Moss. Of course, we never called him “Chief Mulch” to his face…

Someone at Redondo High, who graduated after I did, had the last name “Zang.” Sounded like a sound effect.

My wife went to collage with a pre-med student named Laura Doctor.

I just saw this name on some web site that I wandered into:
**Chrystal Fox **

Some little girl around our part is named: **Autumn Miracle **

What are these parents thinking?

I once bought a car from a Fred Zeplin. He didn’t like the band, I asked him. He didn’t like “that rock and roll”.

Saint Paul has a large Hmong (SE Asian) community, and Choua Her (Chew Her) is a common name.

There used to be a local guy with the last name Science. We used to call him while drunk. “Mr. Science…How many elements can be used to form swear words?” He was amazingly good natured about this.

Theres a realtor in town whose name is Dick Less.

And 2 friends of mine…

Cheryl Jeryl

Kelly Kelley

Both married into the name (I’d have kept my maiden name!!)

I know of a woman named Ragina (rhymes with vagina). I also went to college with a guy named Dusty Trail . He has a sister named Sandy , and he married a woman named Wendy .

There was a student in one of my college classes named Spring Robbins. And an instructor at the same university was named Dick Holder.

A friend of my family have the last name of Money (not Mooney but $). They have a son named Gambel Money. I went to school with Ricky Mooney. Everyone called him Mickey Rooney.

My parents are Bob and Bobbie and both have the same middle name (Lee) . My sister, Barbara, married Kenneth. So they are now Barbie and Ken.

Some other names that I’ve recently discovered from my Wad O Paper stash O Names:

**Trebilcock

Woiwode ** Woy wood? Woy Woo day?

**Mainprize **

I’m never going to win a Nobel Prize from Accumulating Useless Yet Amusing Things if I don’t get more organized.

My doctor in junior high was named Dr. Breaststicker, I kid you not. A little later our insurance plan changed and we got Dr. Midol.

I went to high school with a guy who moved from Canada named David Davidson, and there was a guy in my town named Thomas Thompson

I have a friend with the last name of Toker. One of her pot-smoking friends offered a decent bit of money for her highschool soccer jersey. :slight_smile:

One of the voice professors at my school is Korean, his name is Youngsuck Kim.

And finally, there’s an East Asian girl at my college (not sure what specific nationality, I’ve never spoken to her but I checked out a library book to her once) named, in all seriousness, Yin Yang.

A friend of mine was adopted by her stepfather, and became Mallory Mowery.

When you introduce her, people always think you’re saying “Mallory Mallory.” It gets pretty interesting.

I knew a Cecil Woodcock
I swear to god!

This possibly is my most successful thread to date…

Bad names seem to run in my family…
I’m a Jon Thomas, my mother’s maiden name was Phyllis Butt, my grandmothers maiden name was Cox.

I also used to go to a doctor named Dr De’Ath, and there were various awful names at school…
Dick Hedley
Richard Cummings
Isaac Hunt (lucky he didn’t have brothers Mike and Yorick!)

**brainfizz ** First, let me be the first to welcome you to the Boards!

Secondly, you lifetime misery of bad names is our gain!

You know what they say, a man born with a bad name is already half hung! (I’d say you were double hung :D)

Met a guy last week named Michael Hunt. He goes by the name “Michael.” I imagine there was some name-calling in junior high…

I also knew a guy called Mick Hunt - “DO NOT CALL ME MIKE. EVER”

In college, the dean of our despartment was Professor Albert Pratt.
A Pratt.
His wife’s name was Iona, and no, she didn’t keep her maiden name, so God alone knows what that must have been to prefer Pratt

Then there is a guy called Pat McGee who works in our sister office. If he is ever on site here, the receptionist refuses to call him over the intercom.
(This may only appeal to Irish Dopers)

A place I used to work at had two customers whose names I never forgot: Pervis Butt and Gada Barfus.

Gada Barfus??!!!

A friend of mine used to see a psychiatrist named Dr. Nerosis.

There was a girl at my high school named Ho Lee. You had to call her by her full name, because it would sound wrong to address her simply as “Ho.” However “Ho Lee” is still funny sounding.
